PAUL J. STUPARICH, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CARD-MOUNT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 687,411, dated November26, 1901. Application filed August 19. 1901. Serial No. 72.517. (Nomodel.)

To aZZ whom, it Nea/y concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL J. STUPARICH, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California,have invented an Improvement in Photographic Card-Mounts; and I herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of thesame.

My invention relates to a novel formation of cards which may be employedas photographic mounts, and for other like or similar purposes.

It consists in forming the card with a pasteboard or similar base ofconsiderable thickness and applying to the front a thin veneer of wood,which is cemented to the cardboard so as to form substantially anintegral part thereof. The surface thus formed may after- Ward beindented or raised by a die in any suitable or desired form.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, A is the base of my improvedcard, which is made of paper or what is termed pasteboard, having aconsiderable thickness and consequent stiffness or rigidity to resistbending or distortion.

2 is a thin veneer, made of Wood of any suitable or desired description,and this veneer is cemented and permanently attached to one side of thepasteboard backing, thus forming a composite structure the face of whichserves to receive photographic mounts or for other required purposes.This face may be formed with a raised central portion, or it may besunken so as to form a sort of outline or border interior to the outerperiphery and serving as an ornamental margin for the pho tograph whichmay be mounted thereon.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is*

l. The combination in a photographic mount, of a flexible andimpressible backing and afacing of correspondingly iiexible andimpressible Wooden veneer.

2. The combination in a photographic mount of a flexible materialcapable of permanent indentation and a facing of exible and mpressibleWood veneer cemented to and forming a permanent part of the mount.

3. The combination in a photographic mount of a foundation or body ofiieXible and impressible material, a facing of thin iiexible Wood veneeradherent to and forming a permanent part of the body, said mount havingits surface afterward indented or slinken as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

PAUL J. STUPARICH.
